Fine, then we should have something like an rx_copybreak scheme in
the ns83820 driver too.


Is that really the right solution? Add a full-packet copy to every driver?
IMHO the fastest solution would be to copy only the ip & tcp headers, and keep the rest as it is. And preferable in the network core, to avoid having to copy&paste that into every driver.
